For the random event reward, see zombie outfit. For the guardian that used to appear while burying bones, see Zombie (random event). For the zombies that appear while Dungeoneering, see Zombie (Daemonheim).

Zombies are a form of undead found all over Gielinor, appearing in several different locations, most often in graveyards, dungeons and tombs. Like Skeletons, they are the result of Necromancers reanimating the bodies of the dead.

Zombies have a wide variety of combat levels and appearances, but they generally attack with Melee, and have a low resistance to magical attacks, particularly fire spells.

Many types of zombies exist, including armoured zombies, undead ones, zogres, zombie hands, monkey zombies, zombie pirates, zombie swabs and dried zombies. When given a Slayer assignment for zombies, any zombie-class creature may be targeted, including those such as undead chickens and cows.

Many zombie locations are far from banks. For players wishing to slay zombies and bank their drops, the following zombies are close to banks:

Champions' ChallengeEdit

Zombies are one of the 'races' who have a lesser champion in the Champions' Challenge activity. To fight the Zombie Champion, the player must kill zombies until one drops a Champion's scroll, a very rare drop.

It should be noted that whilst undead ones count towards a zombie slayer task, they do not drop Champion's scrolls.

DropsEdit

Note: The level 18 zombies in the Edgeville Dungeon near Vannaka only drop bones and nothing else. Level 18 zombies elsewhere have regular drops.

Rare drop table dropsEdit

This monster drops items from the rare drop table.
The ring of wealth improves the chances if equipped but is not required to access the table.

TriviaEdit

  • During the 2010 Halloween event, if a player went to the ruins in the Clan Wars free-for-all arena, there was a huge horde of zombies that spawned there. Those zombies would not give exp if killed.
  • A zombie bone, which is different from the usual bones dropped by zombies, is a rare drop after completion of the first part of the Rag and Bone Man quest. It is one of the items in the wish list for the second part of the quest. This bone cannot be buried.
  • Zombies have more graphical diversity (different-looking versions) than any other creature in the game.
  • Unlike other zombies, the zombie in the bridge event during Temple Trekking does not drop bones of any kind and has the examine, "I wonder if he'd let me borrow his hatchet?" It also has a guaranteed drop of a bronze hatchet, which can be used to complete the event.
  • One of the various examines for a zombie is "Could his name be 'Lurch'?" This is a reference to the butler in The Addams Family, Lurch.
  • Various zombie combat animations were reworked on 9 November 2009.
  • During the quest, Defender Of Varrock, when zombies attacked Varrock, one of them would be non-aggressive to you even though other zombies were aggressive to you. This was a bug and fixed by Jagex during September 2009.
  • Note that zombies in the Defender Of Varrock Quest and the armoured zombies in the base of Wilderness do drop Champion Scrolls as well.
  • An update on 12 April 2010 made the sound of the zombies when they get hit much deeper than previously.
  • Zombies drop fishing bait commonly, because it is revealed in Let Them Eat Pie and Recipe for Disaster that fishing bait is actually maggots, which makes sense since maggots should be on a rotting corpse.
  • Zombies were originally blue/cyan coloured, this pre-update version can still be seen in the Zombie Walk and Zombie Dance emotes.
  • Prior to the release of the Evolution of Combat, players could deal extra damage using the Crumble undead spell. This spell was removed with the release of the Evolution of Combat.
  • Zombies, particularly the ones found in Daemonheim , appear to have very low magic resistance. For this reason, it is advised to safespot the high-levelled ones in favour of meleeing them in order to avoid taking unnecessary damage.
  • Oddly, the level 108, 110 zombies found in Tarn's Lair do not count for Zombie slayer tasks. The level 112 zombies with the examine text of "Fred, the undead" also exhibit this behavior.
